Three years after establishing their British microbrewery in the heart of French wine country, Tommy and Rose Barnes are planning on modernising and diversifying with calamitous results. The sequel to A Beer in the Loire, shortlisted for the Fortnum & Mason's food and drink awardBurt, the devil dog, has risen from the dead, Gadget the miniature horse has moved into the kitchen and Tommy is thinking about distilling gin, what can possibly go wrong? With Brexit looming, a second baby on the way, and sales of IPA beer plummeting, trouble is brewing. But just as Tommy hits rock bottom inspiration arrives.
'A candid, brilliantly human book full of laugh out loud moments. And lots of beer' Rosie Birkett, Sunday Times. 'An anti-hero to the home brewer, Barnes' writing froths and unexpectedly eddies - his second work is certainly no stuck fermentation' Douglas Blyde, Drinks columnist, Evening Standard magazine. 'Tommy's antics are hilarious. Like Brewing meets Bake Off in rural France' James Dowdeswell. 'He writes so well and is funny too.' James McConnachie, The Rough Guide to France. 'Barnes adds something new to the Englishman in France genre not just by being extremely funny but by writing from the heart.' 2018 Best Booze Books, Master of Malt
